Chapter 172 -126: Stupidity and Ignorance (Two in One, Please Subscribe)_4

But they didn’t stop at the auditorium; instead, they headed straight to a nearby villa.

Flames were emerging from the villa, mixed with faint sounds of beast-like roars.

Realizing that the real scoop was over there, the journalists quickly tapped into their professional skills to run swiftly and immediately followed.

They immediately saw villa staff and managers outside, screaming in terror about a dead person, monsters, and the like.

The on-site commander was very anxious; he knew who was staying in that villa tonight.

After a brief understanding of the situation, he led fully armed security personnel and charged in.

But not long after entering, the scene inside startled the leading commander.

Inside were indeed groups of creatures that looked neither human nor ghostly.

They were attacking the guests in the lobby and bedrooms.

These guests were naturally the elite devotees of Red Snake Sect.

However, it was unclear why, but these devotees seemed to be hit by a sloth spell, moving very slowly, except for shouting.

They were easily caught by those Mud Swamp Monsters, still clad in Red Snake Sect garments.

Upon contact with the devotees, these Mud Swamp Monsters slowly eroded them, turning them into another wailing Mud Swamp Monster.

There were also devotees who were close to the door and hadn’t been caught; just as they were about to reach the doorway and the people there… they suddenly let out a few cries of despair before their bodies disintegrated into a pile of mush…

After witnessing the whole situation, the on-site commander, who felt he might have gotten involved in a scene of a mysterious duel or curse, gingerly retracted the half-step he had taken back across the threshold.

They didn’t rush to shoot either.

After all, they had seen clearly that those monsters inside might all be the elite devotees of Red Snake Sect!

Could it be a punishment they faced for losing a magic duel?

In that moment, flashes of similar scenes from novels and movies streaked through the minds of the on-site commander and the security personnel.

It confirmed their decision not to intervene.

They chose to seal off the scene and wait for further developments.

Fortunately, it seemed like their gamble had paid off?

The anomaly in the villa did not spread outwards, and there were no major headlines about battles between humans and monsters.

By the time various powers arrived.

The villa had already returned to calm, with only puddles of mush added, nothing else out of the ordinary.

If not for the lobby surveillance restoring the scene, one would never guess everything was the work of mystical forces.

The journalists outside all waited in vain.

On the other hand, Red Snake Sect, informed of the incident, thanked him for his wise decision and sent reinforcements.

What these people didn’t know, however, was that the big news was yet to come.

The Vice Sect Hierarch of Red Snake Sect hadn’t died in this experiment.

He had regained consciousness by relying on his self-awareness after being shaped from the mud swamp.

According to the books, this indicated that the Vice Sect Hierarch at least possessed a poor-quality Spirit Root and was somewhat predestined for this Side Sect Evil Technique.

It was a method often used by Evil Cultivators to select an heir.

Use it on all the candidates; those who survive have the Spirit Root necessary to learn the inheritance.

Simple and effective, though somewhat costly in lives.

Su Ping took this Vice Sect Hierarch with him.

Riding on Big Black, he crossed the sea under the cover of night towards the coast of Sakura Country.

Then he found another place to arrange an array and, using the Memory Wand, summoned the Memory Illusion of the Fox-faced Witch Sakura.

Only then did he cast a spell to awaken this somewhat special Vice Sect Hierarch of Red Snake Sect.

This Red Snake Sect Hierarch, shaking his body, came to and found himself in a land of mists with only faint light around him.

While wondering if this was a dream,

he suddenly saw a witch with a fox mask approaching him.

The witch seemed fragile,

but upon closer inspection, it was as if he could see a tremendous Nine-tailed Fox looking down at him with contempt from behind her,

causing his body to shiver, not from cold but from arising fear.

At the same time, he also recalled the painful memories from not long ago.

He realized that the mission had utterly failed!

Their Red Snake Sect faced a truly mysterious power and suffered a crushing defeat, with no room for counterattack left!

Because of this, he had never felt such a strong desire for mysterious powers.

The Fox-faced Witch seemed to see through the hearts of men.

Gazing at the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Red Snake Sect, she suddenly lifted her head, her bloody red eyes staring.

The witch let out a scornful laugh of disdain.

After a while, she said:

“I really admire the courage and ignorance of you mortals,”

“To actually venture into a Ghostly God’s domain and provoke His servants,”

“Now, having been cursed by Him… you can’t escape death!”

Upon hearing the Fox-faced Witch’s voice, the shell-shocked Vice Sect Hierarch quickly came to his senses, his excitement at seeing true transcendence made him bow his head and plead for the witch’s help.

He swore repeatedly that, as long as he could learn the cultivation technique, he wouldn’t hesitate to do anything required!

The Fox-faced Witch didn’t say much, just chuckled and took out a wooden box, laying it in front of him:

“You are a wise man, able to escape the first wave of the curse unscathed, which indicates that you also possess a fortunate and unusual talent… this is the reason I’m willing to help you,”

“Consider it an early investment, maybe in the future, you can become a weapon against Him?”

“But you need to hurry, don’t die before the second wave of the curse arrives…”

The Fox-faced Witch finished speaking and, together with the mist, slowly vanished in front of the Vice Sect Hierarch.

This made the Vice Sect Hierarch nearly believe it was all a great dream before dying.

Fortunately, he saw the wooden box on the ground.

After opening it, he saw a necklace and a Treasure Bead, which seemed extraordinary just by sight.

There was also a scroll of silk.

With trembling hands, he unfolded it and saw inside, in tiny script, a method for harnessing the thoughts of many to erase others’ Spiritual Artifacts for one’s own use was written down.

In the latter half, there were also several secret techniques on how to cultivate and become Transcendent after obtaining the Spiritual Artifact…

The Vice Sect Hierarch couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Then, after realizing he had actually returned to his homeland, the Vice Sect Hierarch urgently contacted the sect.

The next day, at noon.

He saw his mentor and Sect Hierarch in person at a certain monastery.

He told him that, although he had lost a team of elites on his journey, he had also obtained a real Transcendent Inheritance through this perilous adventure!

It wasn’t that the Vice Sect Hierarch had no selfish thoughts.

Rather, he was worried that there was no time to start from scratch due to the imminent appearance of the second wave of the curse.

He could only rely on the original power of the Red Snake Sect to complete the ritual!

Fortunately, the number of die-hard followers in the Red Snake Sect was absolutely a cut above the other sects.

As the Sect Hierarch personally gave the order.

Before long, a temple they controlled on the outskirts of the Sakura Capital City was filled with a large number of loyal followers.

Meanwhile, to seize the Foundation Establishment female cultivator’s Spiritual Artifact as soon as possible, Su Ping also followed along.

She carefully identified potential problems and arranged the Formation while providing Spiritual Stones to offer Spiritual Energy.

Whoosh!

The Sect Hierarch of the Red Snake Sect began the ritual, swinging a bell.

The Sect Hierarch should have been in his seventies or eighties but had a ruddy complexion, a large physique yet was still nimble in his movements.

His voice was magnetic, always able to captivate the attention of others as soon as he spoke.

No wonder he managed to come out on top among so many sects, ultimately becoming the biggest winner!

In the monastery’s main hall, backyard, and left and right halls, loyal followers sat cross-legged.

All together, there were about two thousand people.

At the entrance, other elite followers stood guard to prevent anyone from interrupting.

As the ritual started, a mysterious feeling enveloped every person within the Array.

Fortunately, they all knew what to do ahead of time, and they were willing to make sacrifices for the great cause of the sect.

Thus, streams of thoughts were collected and hurled against the two Spiritual Artifacts!
